If you're doing it correctly, it isn't even close to being the same thing. By correctly, I mean running a business you're passionate about (at least to some degree) and offering something useful to others. I've had over 125 different jobs and hated the majority of them. But have loved running my own businesses. A bad day running my own business is far more rewarding than the best day working for someone else.
There are some that it works well for them to be an employee and others a business owner. Everyone is different. One downfall to working for others is that it's rare you will get paid what you're worth working for others, without having to work very hard, wait years, sacrifice much, etc. The downfalls of a business owner are much less, especially if you choose to control things rather than let the business run you much as an employer would.
